Handle broke where attached at bottom screw.

Two screws had to be removed. One exposed, the other was underneath the plastic band. Use a butter knife or thin flathead screwdriver to remove plastic band. Remove both screws and replace broken handle with new handle. Re-attach the plastic band. this very easy. My suggestion to eliminate breaking this handle at the bottom, is to grip this handle firmly at the top, when opening the microwave door.

Door Handle Brke - Common Occurrence for this type microwave

I easily removed gasket that retains microwave door glass just tilkl I had visibility of bottom screw and un screwed the non-visible screw and screwed bottom portion of handle and tightened both top and bottom screws, applied gasket back and completed job in less than 5 minutes.

I asked a handyman at the local fitness center about repairing it and he refered me to your website where I found an exploaded drawing showing the parts I needed and how to get to them. It was great and very easy.

Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver and removed the screw that retains the lens frame around the broken lens. I also did the same to the opposite side (whose lens was fine but the bulb had been burned out for some time). With my fingers I pryed up the frame clips that secure the lens in place, removed the pieces of the broken lens, and replace the lens with one of the new lenses I had ordered. Although the bulb on this side was still burning, I replaced it with one of the two I ordered anyway. When I removed the bulb that was burned out, the glass separated from the bulb's base. However, I simply put on a set of tight fitting leather gloves and used my ring finger to apply pressure inside the base and it soon began to twist and then came out. This takes a little manual dexterity, but is very doable. If it were too tight, you could take a large "easy-out" tool (like the one to fit a 3/8" - 1/2" hole) and it would remove the broken base in short order. I had also ordered a second lens, but the lens on the burned side was simply dirty, so I cleaned it, put it back in place and saved the new one for a rainy day. By the way, BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THE LIGHTS ARE SWITCHED TO THE "OFF" POSITION BEFORE DOING ANY OF THE ABOVE. Also take care to clean the glass on the bulbs with denatured alcohol and handle them with clean cloth gloves or a tissue so as not to allow any oils to be on the surface when they are switched on. Body oil will immediately create a hot spot which will shorten the life of the bulb by at least 50% if not more.

Door handle was broken at lower screw

My handiman opened the door. Removed a rubber seal from the back of the handle position, Removed the screws, Removed the old broken handle. Set the new handle, Put in the screws. Reattached the rubber seal. The new handle looks like an original. Job done. Microwave easy to operate with the new handle. Jobe finished.

As suggested, I placed a towel over the stove. Only had 3 main screws to remove from bottom of microwave. Dropped the bottom and changed the sockets and light bulbs. After replacing the bottom tray, I put the new glass light lens in. The clips on glass holder bent back like a photo frame-really easy. Turned on the lights and was done.
